The Starry Night
Never has a painting so captured the public imagination. This visionary, expressionist work of art even inspired a very touching hit record by the American recording artist, Don Mclean (Vincent, 1971). As one historian observed, the painting absorbs the viewer into the cosmos whilst standing on the threshold of eternity.

Calvin and Hobbs
These books were a godsend for a lonely, only child. I can’t think of a character I connected with more as a child. A precocious only child, check. His main company is his stuffed animal, check. Spends most of his day lost in his imagination, check. Thank you Bill Watterson.

Snow White (Disney 1937) - a critique
A timeless tale, a technically brilliant telling. But the modern lens is brutal: the humour and themes don't hold up. An awful protagonist: a wet hen with a grating voice and no personality, surrounded by little leches. Never walks; minces everywhere waving her arms. Best character: Grumpy. Watch instead: Rammstein.

Contact
A highly underrated film about alien contact. If you enjoyed Close Encounters, you will love this. The special effects are a sight to behold, as you can see in the above clip. Based on a novel by Carl Sagan, the science has a great deal of credibility. Just watch it.
